Awesome bear! As a service member, was he exempt from the outfitter requirement or did he have to get one too? He is a resident in Alaska so he doesn't need one. It's also good for me because he qualifies as a guide for me since he is a resident and over 19.

Size of bear?
Size of rifle? He'll get the official size tomorrow, but he has measured him at 9'. He used a .300 WSM. One shot put him down, but he put two extra insurance shots in him. Did he get the official measurement?

Congrats to your son. He looks about as happy as a guy can be. It is something that will put a smile on his face for the rest of his life
